Chapter 149 Meeting

The fixed teams left one after another. There were still several thousand people on the plaza, some already in teams, others ordinary players waiting to be grouped.

Nie Yan scanned the area, browsing the system announcements to see if anyone needed a thief.

Soon, Nie Yan found a player named Su Youyou recruiting thieves. They required thieves to be at least level 100 with at least 8,000 health.

Few teams required a certain amount of health when recruiting thieves. Thieves were squishy by nature. Thieves with 8,000 health were rare. Nie Yan figured there might be some quest in the Dark Elven Tribe that required thieves to have a certain amount of health. This player named Su Youyou was probably a professional.

With that thought, Nie Yan sent Su Youyou a voice message.

"What's your location?" Nie Yan asked.

"Your health is at 8,000?" The player named Su Youyou asked in surprise. Her voice was quite sweet.

"Yes," Nie Yan said. Due to his equipment and various stat bonuses, his health had long surpassed 20,000. This was unimaginable for ordinary players.

"Come to the center of the plaza, 392.280.280."

Nie Yan glanced at his current coordinates and headed towards the center of the plaza. He scanned the area, eventually spotting a seven-man team. The composition of this team was quite unique, consisting of three Orc Warriors, a Shaman, an Elven Mage, and an Elven Demon Hunter.

Nie Yan's gaze landed on the Elven Demon Hunter. He used Super Appraisal and discovered that the Elven Demon Hunter was Su Youyou, the one he'd just contacted. She was a girl around twenty years old, tall, about 1.7 meters in height, with a well-proportioned figure. The azure leather armor perfectly accentuated her figure. The upper body armor was very tight, filled out perfectly. Her belly was exposed, with no excess fat on her lower abdomen, revealing a sexy navel. The lower body was a skirt, and a pair of long, slender, white legs were very eye-catching. Her appearance was stunning. Her crystal-clear, jade-like face was flawlessly crafted, without the slightest blemish. A pair of pointed ears did not detract from her image, but instead added a touch of cuteness to her. She held a blue longbow in her right hand.

Although the appearances of elves were enhanced by 10%-30%, Nie Yan could confirm that even if she reverted to her most natural state, this Su Youyou would definitely be a beauty. She was the most elven-like player Nie Yan had ever seen.

Of course, Nie Yan was simply admiring Su Youyou's beauty. He only glanced at her a few times before shifting his gaze and assessing the others. They were all above level 110. One was even level 121, a male Elven Mage. Like many elves, he was overly handsome, to the point of being a bit effeminate, which Nie Yan didn't like.

As for the Orc Warriors and the Tauren Shaman, even if they dressed up like flowers, they would still be hopelessly ugly.

"He's a human. No wonder he has 8,000 health. I thought he was an elven thief," the male Elven Mage said with some impatience. Humans had the talent of being well-rounded. Their health and other stats were, relatively speaking, higher than those of Elven Thieves.

Hearing the male Elven Mage's mumbling, Nie Yan frowned and asked, "You don't need human thieves?"

"Human thieves are too poor at stealth," the male Elven Mage shook his head.

"What kind of Stealth do you require?" Nie Yan asked indifferently.

"At least 300. Anyone with less than 300 Stealth is trash," the male Elven Mage glanced over and said.

Tch, only 300. Nie Yan was a little disdainful. His Stealth was over 1,000 without any stat-boosting skills. Although this was related to his advanced class, even ordinary Shadow Dancers only had around 600. If he said he had over 1,000 Stealth, would this male Elven Mage be scared shitless? With over 1,000 Stealth, he could probably sneak up to him and pull down his underwear without him even noticing.

Nie Yan was too lazy to bother with this guy. There was no need to reveal his Stealth stat.

Su Youyou blinked her eyes, sizing up Nie Yan. It had to be said, her eyes were big and full of spirit, as mesmerizing as glass.

"If you don't need human thieves, then I'll be leaving," Nie Yan said in a very calm tone.

"Wait, I'm sorry, my friend is a bit rude, don't mind him. Welcome to join our team," Su Youyou smiled slightly. Her smile was gentle and charming.

"He's called Zi Ye, he's just like that, don't take it too seriously. I'm called Sanjie Buliu, I'm their captain," a tall Orc Warrior walked up and said. He was noticeably taller than the two warriors beside him, appearing very sturdy, seemingly honest, but with a lot of presence. (Sanjie Buliu = Three Realms Stay Not)

"Sanjie, why add this human thief? I think any elven thief would be better than him," Zi Ye glanced at Nie Yan coldly.

A clueless guy, Nie Yan sneered. He suddenly decided to stay. First, he was somewhat interested in Su Youyou and this tall Orc Warrior. Second, this Elven Mage named Zi Ye made him very unhappy. If he left, wouldn't that be admitting weakness?

"Youyou, what do you think?" Sanjie Buliu whispered to Su Youyou.

"Definitely an expert. He seems very low-key," Su Youyou said.

Sanjie Buliu nodded and said, "I think so too. But his face is unfamiliar. I've never seen such a character before."

Sanjie Buliu sent Nie Yan a team invitation.

System: Would you like to join Sanjie Buliu's team?

Yes!

System: Team formation successful. You have joined Sanjie Buliu's team.

When Nie Yan joined the team, he set his name to hidden.

"May I ask what your name is?" Su Youyou looked at Nie Yan with a pair of bright eyes and asked, because she couldn't see Nie Yan's name in the team information.

"Call me Tianyuan," Nie Yan made up a name at random. (Tianyuan = Heavenly Origin)

Seeing that Nie Yan had still joined their team, Zi Ye seemed a little sullen and snorted coldly in his mouth, "Acting mysterious."

Su Youyou and Sanjie Buliu both understood that this was Nie Yan's alias, but there was no way to force him if he didn't want to reveal his name.

Zi Ye and Nie Yan had a falling out, but they didn't express anything. They both looked down on Zi Ye a little. However, Zi Ye seemed to think highly of himself, and had always fancied himself as Su Youyou's suitor.

"Now that we've gathered the team, let's set off," Sanjie Buliu said.

"Just the eight of us?" Nie Yan asked with some confusion.

"That's right, eight people are enough, but you need to be prepared. We might encounter some trouble, and your task will be quite heavy," Sanjie Buliu smiled.

Nie Yan looked at Sanjie Buliu. There seemed to be a deeper meaning in Sanjie Buliu's smile.

It seemed their quest was a little different from the quests that ordinary players took on. Ever since he had met these few players, Nie Yan had always felt that the names Su Youyou and Sanjie Buliu were a little familiar. As for where he had heard them before, he had already forgotten.

Nie Yan didn't know many experts from the Satreen Empire in his past life. He only remembered a few very famous ones. He felt that these two names sounded a little familiar, so these two people should still have some background.

"I'll tell Tianyuan about the quest process after we leave the town. Next, we'll have to work together with one heart. Even if there are conflicts, they'll have to be put aside first. If anyone doesn't put in the effort, don't blame me for being impolite," Sanjie Buliu glanced at Zi Ye coldly.

Zi Ye muttered something, but didn't retort. He was still a little afraid of Sanjie Buliu.

The eight of them were preparing to set off. Nie Yan looked towards the center of the plaza. Most of the people in the plaza had already left. Only a small number of people were still looking for teams, most of whom were players whose stats were not high enough and were despised by various teams. They came here mostly to scrape some experience and equipment. If they were lucky, they would run into some teams that would take them along. They simply didn't have the strength to form their own team.

When Zi Ye looked at these people, a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. Compared to these people, he had a kind of arrogant superiority.

Passing through the crowd, the eight of them left the town together.

Su Youyou's bright eyes kept sizing up Nie Yan, making Nie Yan a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, it shouldn't be that easy to be recognized after disguising himself, Nie Yan felt much calmer in his heart.

Seeing that Su Youyou was constantly paying attention to Nie Yan, Zi Ye felt a little unhappy, and couldn't help but feel jealous.

Su Youyou opened the conversation, asking in a casual tone, "Why did you come to the Satreen Empire?"

"He probably couldn't survive in the Greenland Empire anymore," Zi Ye interjected from the side.

Su Youyou frowned slightly. She found Zi Ye to be very annoying.

"I was being chased, couldn't survive, so I ran to the Satreen Empire," Nie Yan didn't refute, smiling faintly.

"As I thought," Zi Ye said somewhat smugly.

Su Youyou didn't believe Nie Yan's words. After being ridiculed by Zi Ye, he could still remain so calm, not retorting in kind. Just by comparing them, the gap between Zi Ye and Nie Yan was very obvious.

Nie Yan's mystery made Su Youyou feel like she wanted to find out more.

They left Kalun Town and passed through a dense forest to a clearing in the forest.

"Let's stop here for a while," Sanjie Buliu stopped and looked at Nie Yan, saying, "We're all here to investigate the Dark Elven Tribe. Although I don't know who you are, I think you can be trusted, so Youyou and I have decided to tell you the contents of the quest. We hope that after you hear it, you'll be willing to participate. If you're not willing to participate, please keep it a secret."

"Captain..." Zi Ye was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the captain would prepare to tell Nie Yan all the secrets, wanting to stop Sanjie Buliu.

Sanjie Buliu glanced at Zi Ye and waved his hand to interrupt, "I have the final say in this matter."
